Quotes by Thinking Tony's [Blair] convinced I'm going to find God. I do have spiritual moments, but I don't think it's God. Alastair Campbell momentsspiritualthinking Friends have suggested that I am the least qualified person to talk about happiness, because I am often down, and sometimes profoundly depressed. But I think that's where my qualification comes from. Because to know happiness, it helps to know unhappiness. Alastair Campbell down-andhappinessthinking I think I'm highly loveable.

Alastair Reynolds levelsbloodthinking To see something marvelous with your own eyes-that's wonderful enough. But when two of you see it, two of you together, holding hands, holding each other close, knowing that you'll both have that memory for the rest of your lives, but that each of you will only ever hold only have an incomplete half of it, and that it won't ever really exist as a whole until you're together, talking or thinking about that moment ...that's worth more than one plus one. It's worth four, or eight, or some number so large we can't even imagine it. Alastair Reynolds eyememoriesthinking Looking at where the planet is now, we could screw things up massively or we could wise-up on a species level and actually make things better.

Alastair Reynolds stupiditywisethinking Think of it like the best mac and cheese you've ever had. No neon yellow Velveeta and bread crumbs. I'm talking gourmet cheddar, the expensive stuff from Vermont that crackles as it melts into the crust on top. Imagine if right before you were about to tear into it, the mac and cheese starts talking to you? Alaya Dawn Johnson yellowtalkingthinking I think the origin of all this clamour for tonality is not so much the need to sense a relationship to the tonic, as a need for familiar chords: let us be frank and say "for the triad"; and I believe I have good reason to say that just so long as a certain kind of music contains enough such triads, it causes no offence, even if in other ways it most violently clashes with the sacred laws of tonality.

I like to be perfect, but I don't like perfection - I think it's dangerous. There is nothing after perfection. I know, I am a walking contradiction. Alber Elbaz fashionclassthinking I think that because I'm overweight, [my] fantasy was lightness. So I project my fantasy to the clothes, and now all I do is light, light clothes because it's the one thing I don't have. That is why I'm too afraid to lose weight because then I might make heavy clothes. Alber Elbaz clothesfashionthinking I think fashion is about longevity and doing your work.

Alber Elbaz editorsdarkthinking I barely finish one pre-collection before I must start on another. Sales start, but I am already elsewhere creatively.
